Can I get a consensis from the gang on this please?
crest? no crest

crest, because I already have one!

No crest unless already there.

My car came with a crest on the front and the back.

I would prefer no crests though but I'm leaving everything there unless I get my car repainted then I'll remove the crests and fill in the holes.

OK, here's what I think you should do just leave it OFF. Even if you put it on who will know that it's a Porsche? Just put it on your steering wheel.Then be happy that you didn't drill holes in a perfectly good trunk lid.

Both of mine have 'em. I'd rather neither did. I love the clean uncluttered
line, particularly on the early years. ymmv.

kim.

I put one on mine and I like the Way It looks

Even though mine has a crest I would rather keep it uncluderd (sp?) Nothin but a door handle.

Crest if already there.

Neither of mine have them.
I'm thinking about putting a crest sticker on the race car when it's painted.

I haven't made up my mind about the driver.

How do I vote, "I'm not sure?"

No crest. Uncluttered. Pristine, virginal?

Hell, my car doesn't even say P-O-R-S-C-H-E across the engine grill anymore! I say NO to the crest.

i vote crest. good i like it since mine came with one.

I had to think about this awhile.

Here is my take on the subject.

F- Porsche. Why should I let people know its a Porsche when Porsche wont acknowledge it ??

Most people think its a Fiat anyway...ha ha

If it has it.. leave it. If it doesnt.. dont add it.

All it does is make the hood harder to wash.

I planned on NOT installing the Crest on my new 911 hood as well as.....I better call Scott before it's too late....

No crest on the 914 either

I vote 'Porsche Crest'. Sure, not original, but it looks sharp and doesn't scream aftermarket...

One car has it, one car dosen't, the third has holes for one. The one at the farm dosen't (rusting peacefully). Can't remember if the 924 has one or not and there is 4" of snow on top of it, so I will find out in about 3 months.

Personally if I find one for cheap I might add it.

I figure that I know what it is and if anyone else is looking at the car can't read the "PORSCHE" letters on the engine lid and figure out what type of car it is from that, there probably to dumb to live.

The 924 had a hood-crest because THAT was a real Porsche

I voted o this last week, but I'll add my .02 today. There are enough Porsche crests on my car already. Wheels, engine grill, 914-6 on the rear panel, crest on the Momo wheel hub. That's plenty.

Jeroen, DIG your new avatar. :loveletter: I would love to have the art for my web page.

I'd pretty much already decided on no crest, I was just curious about how everyone else felt. My first car didn't have one when I got it but I put one on, then kinda regretted it. However, It was a silver car, and now PP sells a silver hood crest. That would have looked tits on the silver car.

though i'd dig this one up, since we have a few more members now.

no crest. it's not really a porsche anyways i vote yes for the big VW that comes on the front of old vanagons.

Personally, I think you REALLY need a huge airbrushed hood mural of a semi-clothed Conan type, proudly dragging his equally semi- clothed conquest by the hair. Straight off the side of a 1970 Chevy van with fiberglass fender extensions and really wide BFG TAs.................................. The Cap'n

crest ..... tartar control extra whitening

I like the crest... I have the silver one... and silver letters on the lid...

No question.

Can you get 914 carpets in Shag?


As in "Shall we shag now, or shall we shag later." Austin Powers




I like both, with the crest, because I like the crest and I think it is cool, and without, because that's how it came from the factory and the car doesn't need to shout "HEY I'M A PORSCHE" for me to like it.

no looks like I know what it is. that's gud e nuf fo me.

easy for you to say, you have a 100% genuine porsche engine in yours.

It adds extra Wieght ...

NONE. Because it's Not A Real Porsche.

I've always prefered porsches without badging.
I think they speak for themselves.

I put the silver crest on my arctic silver teener...looks real good! I like showing my porsche heritage on this car. I don't know if it is age or not...but I get no grief from other porsche people here in northern indiana that the 914 isn't a porsche..they all love it. At the first PCA meeting I attended they asked me what I had and growned when I said I had a 914...they all said don't bring it to an autoX...we don't want to get beat! There are about 6 teeners that show up at the autox's here...3 are sixes.

I have one on mine now but after it gets painted it's not going back on.

No Crest....I do not have an identity crisis.....I do not have an identity crisis....I do not have...........uh, uh...........

I love the hood crest, but if its at the right level on the hood. Not to high and not too low other wise it looks out of place.

Crest, already there, plus balances the Gold letters on the engine lid.

Crest. It allows for longer blank stares when they walk by, and say, "Fiat!?"..

"Yes, why... yes it is..."




M

no crest. keep it clean -- these cars have more character without being labled 'porsche' everywhere.

i'll go along with the people that say...
if it has one keep it....if it doesn't have one on it, don't put one on.
cheers

I vote no crest. The factory didn't put one on, so leave it off.

Story to relate too.
Would you put perfume on a pig?? It's still a pig!!

Tom
BTW Curvie,
Hope to see you Sunday at the Ypsi. VW meet.

a small vw crest would look great on a V8 car

I do not have a hood crest. Although I do like them, I won't put one on my car. Why drill a perfectly good hood?

HAH...I broke the tie....no crest.

wow, when this was resurrected yesterday, the vote was 2:1 FOR the crest, now it's dead even!!

TY TYVM

Mine already had one so I left it on. However, I'm pretty indifferent on it. I wouldn't put in extra time or money to remove one OR add one. They just really don't do much for the car either way.

I used to have the letters on the engine cover but I left them off after I repainted. I like it better without them. I also removed the negative stripe. There's my .02.

I'd like a crest on mine...

But I'd have to remove the big chrome stallion mounted there.

That would unbalance the "look" with the two flanking little chrome horses pulling little chrome sulkies and the bank of 9 tuned airhorns running across the hood behind the sulkies.
